[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. If you knew what my MIL has done to our family, you'd be less quick to judge. [/quote]

So tell us![/quote]

Ok, to name a few things.. We had wedding gifts shipped to her house (my husband's childhood home) when we were engaged and several things went missing. Turns out she took and open and used those things as her own without telling us. She took lingerie from my drawers, and it turned up at her house (and smelled like her, so I suspect she wore it). She tried to convince me that I didn't need to visit my disabled mom in another state too often since I have a family in DC now.  She's just an oddball. She has issues. She is the biggest issue in our marriage. Several years ago, I'd cry a lot and my husband and I would fight a lot more. Now, I've learned to play the chess game. [/quote]

No one has responded to this post about the things she has done because these are pretty lame examples.  So to you the horrible crime she committed was using your stuff and wearing your stuff without asking? Sure that's rude and boundaryless, but it wouldn't make me angry, it would make me feel sad for her. But it's hardly her trying to take you down.  She stated her crappy opinion on not visiting your disabled mother. You knew better than to listen. No harm no foul. She sounds like a jerk, but you have very deep rooted anger about this. I honestly don't think your mother-in-law's thinking about you as much as you are thinking about her.  I can't imagine how miserable the two of you have made your husband.

PS: the meal you made? Doesn't sound all that shit hot.[/quote]
Np. Stealing wedding gifts and wearing someone's underwear are lame examples? Are you severely mentally ill?[/quote]

Those are examples of crimes against STUFF, not against the poster. My mil wearing my undies and using my stand mixer (or doing both simultaneously) doesn't affect my life other than for me to feel very sorry for her.[/quote]

Uhh, that would make your MIL one weird individual who does weird things.   The point is that she did stuff to YOUR stuff.  Not just random objects - specifically YOUR stuff.

You may not feel weirded out by that, but most people would be weirded out and rightfully so.[/quote]
